  • Emulsion for Bath oil

    Posted by Anonymous on March 18, 2019 at 9:39 am

    I am trying to replicate a product, which is bath oil made by one of the  skincare company. This bath oil emulsify spontaneously after dropped into water and only need simple stirring by hand to disperse it into the rest of water. 

    I tried to replicate the formula, but my version of bath oil needs longer time to emulsify and disperse. And, when I dropped it into the water, the oil droplets still visible, not like the one I am trying to replicate. 

    Here are the ingredients:

    coconut
    oil
    gardenia tahitennsis flower
    extract
    soybean oil
    olive fruit oil
    evening primrose oil
    avocado oil
    oleth-5
    oleth-20
    jojoba seed oil
    hydrolyzed soy protein
    hydrolized milk protein
    honey
    polysorbate-80
    tocopheryl acetate

    My thoughts on the role of each ingredient:
    Basic ingredient: coconut oil, gardenia tahitennsis flower extract, soybean oil, olive fruit oil, evening primrose oil, avocado oi, jojoba seed oil, honey.
    Emulsifier: oleth-5, oleth-20, polysorbate-80
    Preservative: tocopheryl acetate
    ???: hydrolized soy protein, hydrolized milk protein

    Here is the video when I dropped the original mixture into water: https://youtu.be/iHrl2Znk04E

    Here is my question: 
    1. From the video, is it possible that the mixture is a W/O/W emulsion? 
    2. could the hydrolized proteins have any effect on the emulsion? maybe as cosurfactant?

    Any help or comment will be greatly appreciated. Thank you before.
